About the Author: Morris King Udall (1922–1998) was born in St. John's, Arizona. He served 30 years in the U.S. House of Representatives. Perhaps his greatest accomplishment was the Alaska Lands Act, which substantially increased the size of the national park system. In 1976, Udall sought the Democratic nomination for president, losing to Jimmy Carter (served 1977–1981). He was diagnosed with Parkinson's disease in 1979, and retired from politics in 1991.
